The Allahabad High Court today directed the CBSE to revise marks awarded to all candidates who had appeared in the NEET exam this year and decide the 'merit/rank accordingly' in view of incorrect reply for one of the 180 objective type questions provided in the answer key.

The Division Bench comprising of Justice Tarun Agarwala and Justice Ashok Kumar passed the order while allowing a writ petition. The petitioner had moved the court with the contention that he was 'dismayed to see that the official answer to question number 172 of test booklet Y was incorrect" following which he provided a representation against the OMR grading.
